Regulatory Zones for 2013 Dordogne Basin Flood Risk Prevention Plans — Corrèze

Approved on 30 October 2013, this dataset defines regulatory flood zones for 15 municipalities in the Corrèze department of France. It was produced by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières (BRGM) and covers the Dordogne river basin and its tributaries from Argentat to Liourdres. The zones are based on hazard modeling using historical and calculated centennial flood events.

Use Cases

• Mapping flood hazard zones for land-use planning based on the described red, dark blue, and blue regulatory classifications.
• Modeling flood risk exposure for properties and infrastructure based on the referenced historical and centennial flood events.
• Analyzing regulatory constraints on construction and economic activities in the 15 specified municipalities.
• Integrating official flood risk boundaries into geographic information systems (GIS) for environmental compliance.

Strengths

• Based on approved regulatory plans with a specific approval date of 30 October 2013.
• Covers a defined geographic scope of 15 municipalities and specific rivers (Dordogne, Maronne, Souvigne, etc.).
• Hazard zones are derived from modeled flood events, including a historical 1960 flood and calculated centennial floods.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last updated 2022-01-14 00:00:00; freshness should be verified for current regulatory applications.
• Row count and specific file formats are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
